What customers say
Great welcome from the owner! Peaceful spot in lovely countryside with spacious pitches. Bar serves food/drink. Some find facilities a bit dated, but upgrades are underway. Good stopover for Calais.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Not a site we would return to.
Power optional grass site
Liked Unfortunately we did not enjoy this site.
Disliked The site was tiny & it is nothing like what the picture looked like.
The staff were friendly but spoke very poor English & told us to “find a pitch.” Two pitches left which were tucked in a corner and a nightmare trying to reverse our twin axle tourer into the tight pitch.
The toilets / showers were not clean. The urinal odour was very strong.
The site was not maintained.
Although it served a purpose for our one night stay / stop over, we wouldn’t return.

Excellent site with clean facilities, and spacious level pitches.
Power optional grass site
Liked We had 3 days left of our month in France, and looked for a campsite close to Calais. This one was a real find. The owners were very friendly and helpful, the pitch was huge and surrounded by hedging, and the on site bar with food was excellent. We will definitely be back.

Decent site to use after a long journey south.
Power optional grass site
Liked Quiet and peaceful in the countryside.
Owners were very pleasant and helpful.
Food and drink available however Pizza was expensive at €15.
Supermarket 1.5km away.
Licques was a nice little town with a few decent shops.
Disliked Site was a bit tatty and could have done with a bit of a tidy up(grass and hedge's ).
Shower block also could do with a renovation.

Great find close to Calais
Power optional grass site
Liked If you are looking for peace and quiet in the heart of beautiful countryside then look no further. The owner Fred is both helpful and very friendly he also speaks good English which is a bonus if your French is as bad as mine.
The bar is well stocked with local beers and you can also order baguettes, croissants and pizzas etc.
The site is also ideal for a stopover either from or to the Channel as it is only 20 minutes from Calais.....
We shall return.

From the manager: Thanks. We are the new campiste owner and we reorganize the campsite.: See you soon
Very good site with clean facilities.
Power optional grass site
Liked Fred the owner was so welcoming and went out of his way to make sure that our stay was successful. He has recently taken over the campsite and although the facilities are old he is working to upgrade them. The site is great for a stopover either coming from the UK or returning. Love the recycling and the rabbits!
